Low-cost airline SpiceJet has closed a deal with Boeing to purchase up to 205 next-generation Boeing aircraft. The total order – for 155 Boeing 737 MAX and up to 50 wide-bodied aircraft – is valued at US$22 billion.
“The Boeing 737 class of aircraft has been the backbone of our fleet since SpiceJet began, with its high reliability, low operation economies and comfort,” said Ajay Singh, the airline’s chairman and managing director. “With the next generation of 737 and the 737 MAX we are sure that we can be competitive and grow profitably.”
Boeing says the 737 MAX will deliver 20% lower fuel use than the first next-generation 737s and the lowest operating costs in its class – 8% per seat less than its nearest competitor.
